2009 Oscars...

Honestly, I wasn't too impressed this year...nobody really stood out fashion wise...Taraji looked good...Viola Davis looked nice...Queen Latifah looked bomb...and Halle as always dressed to impress...other than that...blah. I just feel like ever since The Oscars after 9/11 when the stars choose to wear darker colors and there was no red carpet that they never really knew how to bounce back as far as color is concerned...sure there is always one standout star but overall...nothing.










As far as the actual show itself...there were four things that I really enjoyed:

1)HUGH JACKMAN!!! For those of you that watch the Tony Awards every June...you are familiar with Hugh and his hosting style. I really love how he speaks to the audience and spices things up with musical numbers. When I 1st heard that he was going to be hosting the awards I was so excited and I was glad that he didn't disappoint. However...even though I liked the musical numbers...the one he did with Beyonce and the HS Musical kids did fall a lil flat...and they were a bit time consuming.



2)KATE WINSLET!!!! Love, love, LOVE her!!!! I'm so glad she won...and once again...I knew that she wouldn't disappoint when it came to her acceptance speech!


Shoutout to Meryl Streep cuz she's a BEAST...period and Anne Hathaway...cuz she's awesome as well.

3)PINEAPPLE EXPRESS!!!! Need I say more?



4)Back Down Memory Lane! I thought it was soooooooo sweet and super personal to have past winners present the awards. It was nice to hear one actor/actress praising their fellow thespian's work...nd then see a shot of them tearing from the audience. It was a lil time comsuming...but touching nontheless.
